Boy Erased

“The truth cannot be converted.”

In a small American town, Jared Eamons (Lucas Hedges) is the son of a Baptist pastor, and at nineteen he is outed to his parents. His mother Nancy (Nicole Kidman) and father Marshall (Russell Crowe) give him two choices: enter a gay conversion therapy program, or lose his family, his friends and his church. Joel Edgerton, who also plays the program's leader, builds the story around a young man being told that who he is can be corrected.
